Sté Posted December 13 Posted December 13 (edited) Good evening, I would like to share with you all some bass transcriptions; my main work to grow and improve on my musical path. I focus more on melodies, themes, solos, than bass parts. No plan: i work on pieces (or parts of pieces) than touch me and makes me vibrate. I transcribe for 4 strings bass: there will be some compromise on certains notes. (no low D 😁) Let's start with Jean -Philippe RAMEAU : La danse du grand calumet de la paix My transciption is based on several versions. This one is just an example, a nice version. It's downloadable in pdf, or Musescore format. You can also play it freely directly on Musescore website.

Sté Posted Tuesday at 14:38 Author Posted Tuesday at 14:38 (edited) Good afternoon, About this next one, i'm working on it since more than two years. I've started by the first video below version, which ignited this work. Then after listening a zillion version, decided to transcribe also one octave under the first one. Each version has her proper interest: the "treble" side contains challenging fingering on the top of the neck. And the "lower" side is a good exercise to work on non-fretted notes; imposing to work and find hand positions for mutting between fretted note and non-fretted notes. And this awesome other one: It's really a pleasure to work, as a musical meditation.

Sté Posted 3 hours ago Author Posted 3 hours ago Good evening, Next one is the theme from Avishai Cohen "Continuo"; awesome piece to work on chords positions, 5/4 bars mixed with 4/4 ones ; and some tricky fingering to find for smooth result. Notice that Avishai plays it on a 5 strings bass with treble C. So i've lowered second part from one octave to be able to play it on 4 strings bass.
